Having seen Equilibrium and watched the Gun Kata I like to think Avon stood there, did the calculation and then took them all down They helped by shooting each othet a bit as would be inevitable in that circle
So, it would've gone: Sylvester McCoy (1987 - 1990) Tom Baker (1992 - 1993) Paul McGann (1994 - 1999) Richard E. Grant (2000 - 2003) Christopher Eccleston (2004 - 2005) David Tennant (2006 - 2009) *The rest is history*
I remember seeing this series broadcast in America the same time that Star Trek TNG was airing . . . and thinking that BLAKE'S 7 was the better TV show, despite its next-to-nothing shoestring budget. Imagine what a big-budget Remastered version of this show could be like, as they did with Star Trek TOS! Maybe some BLAKE'S 7 fans who are talented at CGI could do, with a little time on their hands . . .
It almost happened, it’s called The Dark Dimensions the greatest Fanboy Fantasy that could have happened if the previous 4 actors wasn’t too offended and the plot actually put them in as part of the movie instead of cameos.
This almost happened for the 30th anniversary where the 7th Doctor would’ve died and degenerated(?) into an older 4th Doctor. Another 30th anniversary idea that was rejected involved The Toymaker. It only took 30 more years for both of these ideas to become reality.
I don't think McCoy was going to re/degenerate into Tom Baker. The story would have followed a 4th Doctor who had his regeneration at Logopolis blocked. It would have opened with McCoy being dead
@@thethreerailwayengines825 i think this is BETTER than the Dark Dimension - they had the Seventh Doctor killed by a creature who went back in time, stopped the Fourth Doctor regenerating so he lived as a recluse for 20 years before being found by Ace and the Brigadier. For a start, how did he survive the fall and what happened to Adric, Tegan, Nyssa and the Master? Plus the ending when he regenerates through back to the Seventh Doctor is strange!!
@@thethreerailwayengines825 there is a fan animation and a synopsis online, as well as in books and a magnificent thorough examination in the 'Nothing at the End of the Lane' fanzine
it would be so awesome for this have a full version with the Doctor reuniting with Sarah Jane, Michael Gough as the Toymaker with the clever use of his footage from the batman movies and a preview of Paul McGann. somehow I've had the same idea like yours about this 😊
I was literally looking through Michael Gough's filmography to see if this was remotely doable! There's a film about Wittgenstein where Gough plays Russell and spends all of it in robes with a black background and locked off camera shots so I've been looking at that. I think a trailer would be plausible so I may have a go. I also think if they'd done it in 1993 then it would have featured all of the other Doctors at the end somehow.
Not really. Dark Dimension was in a changed timeline where the Doctor's history had been altered so that Four never regenerated. This was Adrian Rigelsford's way of explaining that Tom Baker looked quite different in 93 to when he finished in 81.
I have one more - from 1981 (Zanussi!) to his death in 1996 JON PERTWEE was constantly reprising his Third Doctor in adverts, stage shows, light entertainment shows etc. Even when McCoy was the official incumbant Pertwee was the face of the show for the first half of the Wilderness Years. Could you do something with this? I guess it could feed into the 'all the Doctors biregenerated' theory
I was going to make McCoy regenerate into Pertwee (for exactly the reason you give here - he was the face of the show and there are so many clips of him from the 80s/90s in character), but then I remembered that Dimensions in Time was originally going to be a movie starring Tom Baker as an older 4th Doctor so this kind of fitted to edit into Power of the Doctor style. Big Finish having done a de-generation story recently helped with relevant audio, but that has a 3rd Doctor appearance that I could use.
@@EditsandStuff350 yes! Numerous proposals and ideas from the time reinstating Tom Baker. He was mostly reluctant to come back until BBC Audio/BF but the Fourth was the most recognised
Superb! I love how you like editing Tom from Dimensions in Time/The New Zealand ads. I think in my head there’s more too then? Particularly the latter! Like clips from a forgotten revival series Speaking of which, the BBC suggested flying Tom out to Canada to regenerate into Paul McGann, but Segal insisted it be McCoy. Are you planning to create that idea?
All the New Zealand ads are on RU-vid. I've previously used clips of them for a special edition scene of Dimensions in Time that worked really well. At some point I might try and make something longer from this idea or something similar. There's also the 1999 Doctor Who Night cutscenes that feature Tom Baker in costume. I'm not sure I could pull off the McGann regeneration convincingly as it's a lot more cinematic and harder to cover with classic regeneration energy. Might give it a go at some point though.
@@EditsandStuff350 yeah it works well in DIT, I never get tired of seeing them! 1999 Night. he's basically the Curator, right? Could do something with that.
This make UNIT look like a competent and Professional outfit, but i'm not sure the Doctor would agree; "You let Sarah go off somewhere with Kettlewell!". Then there are Benton's comic capers etc..... including losing Sarah when facing the Giant Robot, "We thought she must have gone home..." an edit of those sorts of clips with appropriate TV theme would be amusing maybe?
I think a series where UNIT were competent would be quite good. Their incompetence is sometimes played up in the show so that the Doctor can save the day, it would have been fun to have some more Doctor-lite episodes in the 70s and see what UNIT can do on their own.
@@EditsandStuff350 yes episodes such as Mind of Evil and Ambassadors of death have nice thriller aspects and UNIT feature quite heavily which i like, (Tho they still manage to lose a space capsule, which of course the Doctor recovers for them).
No. Never ever make a remake. In the current climate it would be a total disaster. Look how they have ruined Star Wars and Dr Who - a box ticking mess that have both lost their way.
